I have read this post and seen some interesting ansewers and questions. I also have seen some name calling here and their. Here is what I would like to really know. How can everyone that has posted tell me how to come to a conclusion to make it better. Here are some of my thoughts.
How about when a dog is registered with ARHA you receive an easy entery card.
All dogs will be measured at the big hunts and if they meet the standard will be given a sticker to put on their easy entry card. 13 or 15.
If a dog is measured out at 2 major hunts it will not be allowed to compete in any ARHA hunts.
My last thought is to use the system, if every club would like to see a rule change, submit it to the board, at the time for the rule changes, and each club send a representive to the metting.
Some of these posts that I've seen on here is why I have backed off of the hunts, but I will tell all that has posted if you get to Ohio, you are more then welcome to come and run with me. I only ask for one thing, its that we both are here to sit and listen to dogs doing what they are bred to do and some new or old friends enjoying theirselves. I usally like to sit on the tailgate or in the lawn chair and listen to the hounds. One more thing it don't make any difference if its 2 or 20, there's nothing better. My email is
